The non-conformist, political ethos of the enigmatic Australian group has garnered a strong worldwide cult following, including that of Samuel T. Herring from Future Islands, who collaborates on the new track Twisted Strangers under his rap alias, Hemlock Ernst which premiered on Highly acclaimed U.S Music Blog Pitchfork in September 2015.
